definitely depends where you live - I cant' think of any place around here for $5 beer .... maybe during happy hour you can get bud light or something

Clearly none of you live in a college town....

most assuredly not ....

... though did have my fill of cheap beer back when I did. Best deal we found was Bürger Beer (the umlaut made it fancy) which was $2.48 a case

Avengers

I think I missed the announcement regarding an Avengers themed resort at Universal Orlando? I know the Hotel New York near Disneyland Paris is being converted to a Marvel themed resort.

I got insanely excited about that for a moment and then realized that his autocorrect probably changed it from Aventura.

WDWNT got one right!

Sorry that was autocorrect.

Would be funny/cool if Universal tried to stick it to Disney and use more of the Marvel brand (though I don’t think they are able to exchange and outside of the parks or anything)

I think that would be hilarious!

Ever since Disney announced the Star Wars Hotel, I wondered if Universal would counter the announcement with a Harry Potter themed resort. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to stay in a recreation of Hogwarts? You could choose your own house (Gryffindor, Slytherin), attend defense against the dark arts classes, learn how to cast a patronus spell, etc.

Speaking of the Aventura Hotel, Tim Tracker just posted a video review:

Preview rather than a review

First guests don’t sleep there until tomorrow.

Biggest change is the monorail station. The buildings look a bit different aesthetically too.

Mobile ordering making its way to the resorts

https://wdwnt.news/18081509

This is simply brilliant. We often just want to eat in our rooms, especially being in DVC - even studios. It's such a pain to have to go down to the food court and SIT and SIT waiting for your food (OK, it's maybe 10 minutes so really not THAT bad) but this just seems wonderful. We never really used the mobile ordering in the theme parks since we rarely seem to have to wait more than about 5 minutes for our food - but THIS is great.

I hope they have a DVC wing, it’s so hard to get into Grand Californian through DVC from 7 months out.
